The Mile High Tower

Home More advice Science

The Mile High Tower which will be built in Jeddah claims that it will be the first building to be one mile high, but it also states that it will be 1600 meters tall. A mile which is 5,280 feet is 1609.344 meters. Why don't they build the building just a couple of meters taller so that it will actually get the title of the first one mile high building on the planet?
